The Sons of Cur Statesmen Have, in Al
most all Cases, Indicated no Inheritance

Illustrations.
Take, for instance, our presidents.
Washington, Jefferson, Madison, Monroe,
jackson have no male descendants. Presi-
dent Van Buren's son John was a man Of
extraordinary quick wit, keen intellect
and brilEancy as a lawyer He was
known as Prince John, but he was not a
man of steady purpose or of such charac-
ter as makes ability tell for its best.
President Harrison's son was man in
no special way conspicuous, though the
grandson, the present Senator Harrison,
is thought by many to be a man of excep-
tional ability Yet there is no lesson of
heredity TO be learned from Senator Har-
riSon's career, inasmuch as William
Henry Harrison was very far from being
a great man, and was elected to the presi-
dency for reasons with which his mental
character had very little to do. John
Tyler was an accidental president, and
not man of commanding ability. One
Of his sons is a struggling physician in
Washington and another has held minor
positions under the government. Polk
ard TAYLOR had, we believe, no sons.
Franklin Pierce lost his son by rail-
road accident soon after Mr. Pierce's
election. The youth was regarded as Civ
| ing promise of great ability. Buchanan
was bachelor. Lincoln's son Robert in
10 way whatever, physically OF mentally,
suggests his paternity. He seems to have
inherited physically the short, stocky

their rather phlegmatiG mental constitu-

The late Gov Hubbard, Of Connecticut,
though not well known outside the state
except to the bar of the country, was re-
carded as one Of the most brilliant minds
that state has ever produced of recent
years. He was very able lawyer and
most delightful orator His son inherits
neither these tastes nor capacities. He
is n brisk little business man and buys and
sells stocks on Change Hawley, Ed
munds, Sherman, Conkling, now or lately
Of the senate, have not sons. Conkling
unquestionably inherits some Of his gifts.
His father, Judge Conkling was an able
man. Platt, who is not conspicuous
senator but is regarded by his colleagues
as very able man, has son who, though
fair average lawyer, is not thought to
possess his fathers abilities Mr.. Evarts
has large family of SONS. Some are in
business, one is a lawyer, one in the
church, but though some of them physi-
cally suggest the father none seem to have
inherited from him exceptional powers of
mind Malone, who certainly in some
respects has had remarkable career and
is unquestionably man of force, has
son for whom he has cherished most
ardent hopes, but who has sadly shattered
them thus far
Alexander Hamilton seems to have be-
queathed none of that wonderful genius
to which so much in our government
stands as monument to his children.
Hamilton's destroyer Burr, was man of
ability and, many thought, genius. There
was unquestioned inheritance in his case,
us he was on the mothers side de-
scendant of Jonathan Edwards Burr
had no sons, but his daughter was most
brilliant and accomplished woman, whose
strange romance became a matter of
public notoriety.-New York Sun.

ONE LIVED, THE OTHER DIED.

A woman formerly our slave Is now
our cook. About eighteen months ago
she became sickly and had cough and
was confined to bed, and it was thought
that she had consumption. The treats
ment by physicians failed to give relief.
In December, 1884. node or knot the
size Of goose egg formed just above the
pit of the stomach, which when lanced
discharged matter for considerable
time. For six months of this time she
was confined to the house. and most Of
the time in bed. The stomach often re-
fused food, by rejecting what she had
eaten. She used great deal Of medicine,
but failed to be cured. l bought one
bottle of 3 B. B. (made in Atlanta, Ga, }
and gave it to her and she commenced to
improve. then bought and gave her
three bottles more, and she continued to
improve and in two months time her
cough had ceased, her constitution
strengthened, appetite and digestion
good, all discharges ceased. nodes or
knots disappeared and she went to work
apparently healthy and fattened up great
ly.
This woman had a married sister of
near same age who was affected in pre-
cisely the same way and about the same
time She had node or knot on pit Of
stomach, back, etc. She did not take
any B. B. B. and the node on her stom-
ach ate through TO the cavity. She con-
tinued on the decline and wasted away,
and finally died.
These were two terrible cases Of blood
poison, one used 5. B. B. and was
speedily cured-the other did not use it
and died. 1t is most assuredly a most
wonderful blood purifier. Irefer to mer>

Henry Clay was greatly disappointed in
his sons. He had hope that his mantle
would fall on one of them, but he lived
long enough to see that his hope was vain.
Daniel Websters son, Fletcher, was a
quiet, somewhat scholarly gentleman,
without single suggestion Of the posses
sion of his fathers great ability. He was
a gallant officer during the war, and was
killed in service. Not one, we believe it
is safe to say, of the men who so ably
made history for rs in the past, left sons
who took up the work their fathers left
off, and carried it on with signal ability.
The names we now hear and have heard
for generation are new names. None Of
them suggest the giants of old. The
brilliant Tom Ewing's son is now quiet
lawyer in New York Tom Benton s
grandsons are youths of character but of
no conspicuous ability. Clayton, Dallas,
r. NJ johnson, Wright and Marcy, the
Clintons, these and many others have be
queathed none of their ability.
Mr. Carlisle has two sons who are prac-
ticing law in the growing town of Wichita,
Kan One Of them is thought 10 give
promise of becoming great lawyer. Mr..
Blaine has three sons. One is in the rail
way business in Chicago; one, Walker,
has been able to adopt the habits and life
Of people who move in good society with
distinguished success, but not as yet has
he developed any Of the wonderfully
magnetic and stirring qualities that have
made his father pre-eminent. Another,
young Jim, as he is called, Is thought to
have some of Mr.. Blaine's ability, though
his exuberant youthful spirits have not
permitted him to make much manifesto
tion of it, if it be so. That eccentric but
gifted warrior, Gen. Sherman, had looked
for a career for his son which in other
fields night equal his own, but the young
man has given himself TO the life of a
priest in the Church of Rome. John Sher-
man has no children. Through the
Ewings the Shermans and Blaines are re-
lated, so that it is likely that to the Ewing
blood these able men can in manner
ascribe their gifts. Senator Bayard will
probably be the last of his family to hold
conspicuous public office, at least in con-
secutive line. His son is an amiable, con-
scientious young man, but with no taste
for those pursuits which made his father,
uncle and grandfather famous.
